On Sunday, Netflix released the "The Cloverfield Paradox", the third installment of the franchise, and soon after we learned that the fourth Cloverfield movie, which is currently titled "Overlord", already has a release date set.

Even though Netflix took over the "The Cloverfield Paradox" project, and the movie wasn't quite well received, Paramount is already working on the fourth installment, and they are planning to release "Overlord" in theaters on October 26, 2018.

J.J. Abrams spoke to Digital Spy, saying that "It didn't really feel like it was any fun to release [The Cloverfield Paradox] with everybody knowing that it was coming". Well, Netflix surely surprised everyone with the early release.

Abrams also talked about the upcoming movie, without revealing much, in order to have the surprise element.

"First of all it's something that I can't wait for you to see cause the director, Julius Avery, has done an amazing job on it... But the specifics, you know, we should wait and see. But that's really a crazy movie."

So far, what we know about the plot is that it's a story about two American soldiers behind enemy lines on D Day, realizing there is more than meets the eye when they come up against supernatural forces which are part of a Nazi experiment. But how all this connects to the Cloverfield franchise, we will just have to wait and see.

Reportedly, "Overlord" is already done filming. The script for the upcoming movie is written by Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith. The movie stars Wyatt Russell (Black Mirror), Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones) and Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).
